My approach to therapy is person-centered, providing clients with acceptance, empathy, and understanding.
We all have negative experiences or feelings, and if we don't deal with them, we can get stuck in the past or worry about the future. Without realizing, we create patterns of behaviors as we engage with our loved ones and keep repeating the same mistakes, over and over again. Understanding these patterns and learning new ways to communicate are the first steps in making positive changes. There are times when we feel down, confused, stressed or lost. During hard times, we also tend to isolate ourselves and become lonely. However, these are the times when we need someone who will listen, understand and accept us without judgment.

My approach is person-centered and humanistic, recognizing the unique challenges and strengths each person brings with them to therapy.
I work with clients who have varying struggles from anxiety, body image, depression and life transitions. Our daily struggles are held within our body and impact everything from daily functioning, relationships to how we take up space in our environment. As a dance/movement therapist I will utilize body based interventions (ex. breathing, imagery and metaphor) to assist in exploring how your body holds onto symptoms. Through the interconnectedness of body, mind and spirit you can explore how to shift to allow daily life to become more manageable and enjoyable.
